It has to be the southern accent. I know someone once said he couldn't spell cat if you spotted him the c and t. When I listen to him he doesn't come across as dumb to me, in fact he seems like he plays off of that sometimes which is an indication that he is not dumb.
Year ago, like in the late 80's and early 90's I worked for a woman that on the surface didn't seem that bright. She was short,

Watkins has 10 games over 100 yards out of 37 total games along with only 17 TD's. His career output is 2469 yards. And he has a carer catch % of 55.5.
He's a pretty good WR, but that's all he is. Pretty good.
I'm not sure playing on the other side from a guy like this provides any measurable help.
I know you love the guy, but between him and Blackmon there's two WR's not worth the draf

Cousins has been playing fantastic football for the last two seasons. He is a top 5 QB in my opinion.
If you factor out the first half of last season and look at the games from about the middle of 2015 through the end of 2016 he is lights out, in the discussion for best QB in the NFL. He's been playing that well. Like first ballot HOF level play.
And he is doing in in a pretty good divisi

The Rams and Browns have similar "career arcs".
Periods of great years, and periods of crap.
But when it comes to championships the Browns have a commanding lead.
This is why I always shake my head when Cardinals fans talk smack about the Rams..........they don't know their history.

They are providing the school thier own playing surface free. The Raiders will even replace it when it's worn out.
This is a sort of partnership they are piecing together since they are sharing the stadium.

Even Browns fans can make fun of us, let that sink in for a moment.
It's difficult to talk football with people outside of this board because of the smartazz wisecracks and remarks like "oh sorry to hear that".
When I read this article and saw the remark in my head I said "FU".
99-01 is so far removed and the losing has been so bad it's like it almost didn't really h

They have a QB that is a very good passer throwing to a group of good pass catchers, including the TE by the way, that are all good at different things.
You need a group that has divergent skills. Over the middle, a third down hands guy, crisp route runner, a deep threat, a TE that can chip then run a route.
This nonsense about a "true #1" is drivel. Complete horsesheet.
You ne

Contracts are not automatically guaranteed or not guaranteed in the NBA. Each contract is an individual thing negotiated within a framework of rules. Two players that have identical career arcs can each have two different contracts, guaranteed or not.
You aren't following. The players tenure has nothing to do with them negotiating a guaranteed deal. Max contracts have nothing to do with a gu

Now it's true that the guaranteed contracts that we see a lot of are not part of the agreement between the players union and the NBA but players ARE leveraging teams to get those guarantees. Not all of them of course, but nobody in the NFL is doing it because there isn't a megastar leveraging them. Dickerson is right.
The dollar amount is simply a silly point, they play 82 games not 16.

There was a little run from 07-09 where the Rams were not only losing at a record pace but they were too often getting blown out of games.
I recall being in the chat room here and by halftime two thirds of the guys logged out after saying they couldn't watch anymore. For me that run was worse than last year.
However the opening day shutout against the 49ers and blowing a late 4th quarter le

He hasn't done anything of note that I remember. He cannot possibly take credit for the Jimmy Johnson era. Especially since he ended it. He's been a flop for the most part acting as his own GM. They are 2-8 in the playoffs in the last 20 (yes twenty) years. He chased Parcells out after he finally built the team back up and hired Wade Phillips who broke it LOL.
He's been nothing special in any

Most of the plays on the highlight reel I saw didn't convince me.
He has SO much time in the pocket most every play it seemed, so it's hard to create an opinion other than "He looks good with 3-7 seconds in the pocket" which reminds me of Matt Lienert when I saw his highlight vids.

That's nothing new. The difference is now there is so much MORE player movement and so much money involved. Role players that round out a roster can get bigger money to go to a so called super team that's true but for the most part players go where they get the most money. The notion that super teams are new is wrong though.
And lets face it they don't always win it all.
Miami went 4 time
